Update:there's a possibility I will not be able to serve at my church. But I'm only a little disheartened. I gave it to God to sort out for me. I know He has plans for me, and I know He will guide me and use me how and where He sees fit. ❤
**************************************
What roles do you take on at church? I am a member of a very new church. I first jumped in, both feet, in the deep end, and drowned. Now that I'm out of the pool and dried off, I'm ready to slowly enter again. I'll wear floaties, swimmies and I'll grab a life vest just in case. Oh, and I'm taking the stairs in the shallow end this time too :)
So, I'm just trying to figure out where to start. What gifts do I have that I can use at church? How do I figure that out? Lemme guess, pray. 😒
I tried nursery, but got burnt out. I tried making a calendar but it wasn't needed. I tried helping with a directory but that fell through. I joined the NETS team passing out tracts, however no one would be my partner so I couldn't do my routes. I offered to help plan a party but the meeting time and location didn't work out. I signed up to bring food but it wasn't needed. I enjoyed our weekly prayer meetings but now with their time and location I haven't been able to. I do not feel children's church is where I should be. That role takes amazing talent that I know hasn't been bestowed upon me just yet. I'm pretty good at putting chairs away but I'm not feeling adequate doing that. There's gotta be other things I can do, or attempt to do, got any ideas? Should I revisit some of the duties I have tried previously and pray for a better outcome? I'm scared of the rejection though. I'd feel better trying something new.
I've never been a member of a church before so I don't understand the dynamics and I'm unaware of the different opportunities available to me to contribute to my church.
Help.
Thank you :)
